<div>I suddenly found the folder “-p” in my home directory, one
day...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
“<span style="caret-color: rgb(80, 80, 97);"> ls -p”</span>

<div>“<span style="caret-color: rgb(80, 80, 97);"> ls -p/”</span></div>
<div><span style="caret-color: rgb(80, 80, 97);"></span>/ is not a
flag option</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>”ls *”</div>
<div>-p</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>“ls */*”<br>
<div>
<div>No file nor directory...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
“rm -p”</div>
<div>-p isn’t a flag</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So....</div>
<div>I dunno about you guys, but this sucked figuring out how to
handle.</div>
<div>It can be removed with</div>
<div>“rm -r ./-p/“</div>
<div>But everything else makes it into a flag.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Moral of the story:</div>
<div>If a file like “-a” shows up and it’s existence bothers you,</div>
<div>DON’<caret></caret>T TRY REMOVING IT WITHOUT </div>
<div>“./“ or some other path behind it!<br>
